At Nintendo's developer roundtable this evening, Ubisoft announced a new game for Wii U by the name of Killer Freaks From Outer Space, currently scheduled for 2012. I know what you're thinking based on the name, but it actual...

[Update: Assassin's Creed creative director Patrice Désilets has responded to his departure from Ubisoft, calling it a "baseless" termination. Here's what he told Polygon: "Contrary to any statements made earlier today...

In my preview for Darksiders II, I mentioned Death's Ghost Hook weapon which helps you navigate around levels or attack enemies. What I didn't mention was that you don't start off with the Ghost Hook right away so you won'...

The Avengers is hitting theaters this week and to celebrate, Zen Studios has dropped the price of all their Marvel-themed pinball tables for mobile devices! On iOS, that means the Captain America, Wolverine and Thor tables ar...

That the Darksiders games take more than a few cues from The Legend of Zelda -- and may possibly surpass it -- is a secret to nobody. What we were unaware of was that developer Vigil Games always had intentions of supplanting...

Both Gearbox and SEGA have responded to a class action suit that alleges customers were lied to during the development of Aliens: Colonial Marines. Both companies are happy to defend themselves and seem unswayed by the threat...

This new Dragon Quest X trailer is brought to you by the concept of death. Death: the great inevitability for us all. The opening seconds show the typical burning RPG village, all the motionless villagers strewn about, befor...

What do you want from me? It's Lumines, man. What do you want me to say? I'm kidding. Kind of. But it really is just Lumines, but now on the Vita. And that's all we really wanted, right?  The TGS demo for this sequel was...

Just when you thought your wallet was safe from Steam sales, something like this bundle drops. In it we see seven games, each using the Unreal engine, for just twenty bucks. These aren't just any Unreal engine games either; t...

One runs at a lower resolution, looks worse, and only has access to one analog stick on the PSP. The other looks pretty and shiny on the Vita, and adds touchscreen control as well as a second analog stock. But both are t...

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be arriving on the PlayStation Vita as one of the many launch games for Sony's new handheld. I went hands-on in a couple of matches and, shocker, UMvC3 is pretty identical to the console...

I make my love of role playing, racing and puzzle games known, but I don't talk much about my other love: golf games. I adore golf games. My favorite are the PangYa titles (PC, WII and PSP), but I have love for all of the Asi...

Level 5's newest game was originally announced as a Nintendo 3DS title, but now it seems that it will also come to PS Vita. There's still very little in the way of details on this game, but the latest issue of Famitsu at leas...

Pinball has to be one of the hardest hobbies to talk about. On the surface, it's about hitting a metal ball around a slanted table, with some flippers, in the hopes of keeping it from failing down a hole. In reality though...

SEGA is bringing their beloved Super Monkey Ball series to Sony's new PlayStation Vita, which, by the way, has been dated for February 22 of next year. Surely, everybody loves the little monkey rolling around in his super bal...

More PS Vita video content! Up next is Reality Fighters, a game in which you use the system's camera to create virtual combat in the real world. This "augmented reality" stuff gets people really hot, so watch the above video...

While Sony put out a lot of PS Vita trailers today, it had nothing to say about Sumioni, a scrolling action game with graphics inspired by ink drawings. Fortunately, a video still crept onto the Internet today, so check...

EA Sports is bringing just one game to the PlayStation Vita launch party, but it looks as if that title will be one of the stars of the show. I played FIFA Soccer back in mid-October, and came away feeling like EA Canada has...

This comes from Virtua Tennis 4 on PlayStation Vita. It's like "congrats" and "rations" put together. [via @ItCameFromJapan on Twitter]

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND, which was announced earlier this year for the PS Vita (and later for the PS3 and Xbox 360), will be getting a limited edition. The LE will include a calender, 40 page art book, and soundtrack...

Upcoming PS3/Vita RPG Ruin has, apparently, undergone a name change. It is now being referred to as Warrior's Lair, a decidedly generic moniker of Renegade Ops proportions.  While Ruin was definitely ...

The Wipeout games have always served as a solid system showcase with their flashy graphics and impressive sense of speed, so Studio Liverpool's latest, Wipeout 2048, makes for a nice launch title for the PlayStation Vita...

ModNation Racers is very much an "odd one out" when it comes to Sony exclusives. It has the "build anything" mantra of LittleBigPlanet but remains tied to a single genre of game -- a genre that LittleBigPlanet itself is plann...

Jeez. How many more copies of this game do you need? Capcom has us in a continual air juggle with these upgrades and re-releases lately, so it's easy to become indifferent to a new title with an old name. That said, even if y...

The PlayStation Vita is rich in features, boasting every possible input method a portable gaming system could have to date. Multiple touch interfaces, dual analog sticks, voice control, twin cameras, and even motion sensing; ...

If Lumines was your drug on the PSP, know that it's been refined and made stronger. This is the hard sh*t, folks. You're in danger of totally crashing and burning with Lumines: Electronic Symphony on the Vita. This is th...

In a bizarre turn of events, Ubisoft has been fairly quiet about the actual release date and price of their 3DS iteration of Rayman Origins -- but that all changed as of today. Rayman Origins 3D will launch on June 5 at $29....

There's nothing like a celebrity death to make some free money for those left behind, and Ubisoft was the lucky company with the videogame rights after Michael Jackson popped off this mortal coil. Michael Jackson: The Experie...

Upon completion, Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen throws up an interesting question -- does the fun one has with a game justify the fact that it's a glorified port masquerading as a sequel? What if the original game is seven years...

You've probably played this game. Any well-versed gamer should have played Ninja Gaiden in some form at least once before. It was a big deal on the original Xbox as it marked the return of the classic Ninja Gaiden. Later we s...

If you build it, a Dynasty Warriors spin-off will come. This has been true of any game system released in the past few years, and Tecmo Koei has no intention of breaking tradition with the PlayStation Vita. Dynasty Warriors N...

Dungeon Hunter: Alliance originally came to the PlayStation Network in April 2011, where it is still available for $12.99. A few months later, the game was ported to Mac, where it has recently been on sale for $0.99.  Ga...

Just as I was settling in to start typing this review, I had to reach for the case while muttering, "What is this one even called?" Such is the existence of the Asphalt series, a racing game so indistinct that you could play ...

"I'm a hustler, baby. I just want you to know." Well, those would be the lyrics I would sing as I entered my local pool hall, hoping to scam friend and stranger alike in a friendly game of billiards. Of course, I was no hustl...

Good news for European PlayStation Vita/PS3 owners who have MotorStorm: RC: there's now free DLC available for it in the form of a car that has the Domino's logo on the side. Because who doesn't instantly think of delivery pi...

Zipper Interactive is generally regarded to have done a pretty exemplary job when it came to providing staple console experiences in a portable format. Despite the input limitations of the PlayStation Portable, Zipp...

The PlayStation Vita Game Heaven event is done and ... well ... here's a Japanese date for an HD re-release of something that was already re-released late last year. It's the most important story from the event. If you wante...

I love Pinball, as I'm sure readers of this blog are well aware. I'm also deeply affectionate for the Mistress of the Dark, Elvira, late-night spookshow queen of the eighties and nineties. So, it's no surprise that I'm highl...

We know that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is coming out on more-or-less every platform this Holiday, but it appears that Sumo Digital has paid special attention to the Wii U version as shown in the racer's latest...

Leading 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth at AT&T Park with the heart of the order coming up, the division rival Padres brought out their new closer, Houston Street, to wrap up their victory. Street’s idiosyncratic win...
